    It may come as a surprise to you but your nemesis left VP over 3 years ago and since then we've had a handful of managers who collectively have got us to where we are. And you're still banging on about him. It's about time for your own good that you had something more in your life than your preoccupation with Parky!

    ps It was a series of incompetent owners and their questionable financial dealings which put Bolton where they are. I doubt very much that any other manager would have coped any better with their shenanigans.

    pps In future, if you have anything more to say about our ex, ex, ex, ex manager, please post your comment in the Where Are They Now forum and not clutter up this part of the site which is concerned with City and not ex players, ex managers etc

    ppps @Ricc@Ricc You'll have noticed that there is a new thread here in Where Are They Now dedicated to Parky. For future reference, please post any comments you have on Parky in this new thread.

    Just quoting facts mate that team were in the top 6 when Rahic & Rupp sacked McCall, many at the time who were privy to things going on behind the senses maybe formed a different opinion why he was so quick to get rid, yes it was a bad run but so was Phil Parkinson's but Julian & Mark had faith in him.
    Anyone would think Rahic sacked him because of the 6 defeats (or how ever many it was) do you after whats been brought to light since his departure seriously believe Rahic was not just waiting for the first bad run of form.

    I prefer to think of the unprecedented success and the brilliant occasion he brought about and just hope Bowyer can get somewhere near that

    Parky is a shrewd man he had Rahic correctly summed up in just one meeting
    He wouldn't take the Sunderland job if he thought he couldn't get them promotion
    and a club that size deserves better than what they already have
    Yes their fans demand attractive attacking football "something they won't get with him" they also demand success and if he gets them promoted that would suffice
    However whether Parky can hold his own or succeed in the championship is another matter
    Good Luck to the most successful manager we have had in recent times

    Ive been stewing over this for a few hours now (maybe because i had a bet on stendel to take the job instead!)

    But i realise it does make sense, instead of throwing a season away to get a manger to get the players to adapt to his style he has gone for a manger with similar tactics and a proven record in L1. On a personal note i am quite happy for him as he left us on a bad note and had such a rough time at bolton. He must be so pleased hes managing a large club.

    Genuinely wish him and Sunderland all the best.

    Good Luck Parky ... He provided some great memories for Colchester and City fans alike , expectations of NE clubs usually exceed reality but they could do worse. Many would have bailed out on Bolton a lot earlier. He steered Col Utd to 10th in Championship in their first season fired by very attacking Jamie Cureton / Chris Iwelumo partnership , I don't get some of the negativity from City fans on Parky.

    How did he deceive us?..You have never really explained your hatred of Parky, and the reasoning why you think he was a poor manager and a fraud at that.
    Bronco brilliantly outlines in a previous post on here, how 99.9% of City fans loved their time under Parky, and the wonderful times we enjpoyed under him. I cannot get my head around why you think otherwise, unless you prefer to wallow in failure all the time

    Class appointment for a team which are failing to much. £4M Will Grigg etc - He will get best out of that squad and take them up to the Championship.

    Our best manager since Jewell. Wish him all the very best.

    Can never understand why people hold SM and Parky up against each other. Totally different managers with different styles. Parky more mercenary as a manager, SM wore his heart on his sleeve and loved the club. Both laudable
    in their own ways for what they achieved at City.
